In a heartfelt gesture to mark World Food Day 2025, the World Mission Society Church of God has distributed 25 food parcels to families and individuals in Dominica grappling with economic hardships, health challenges, and the impacts of climate change. This initiative is part of the church’s global “Hold Hope Campaign,” which aims to provide compassion, love, and practical support to underserved communities worldwide, as detailed in a recent press release. The food packages were delivered at the Government Headquarters in Dominica during October, with recipients carefully selected in collaboration with Dominica’s Ministry of Social Services, Community Development, and Gender Affairs, as well as the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, Blue and Green Economy. This partnership ensures that aid reaches those most in need. A representative from the Church of God in Dominica expressed gratitude for the opportunity to work alongside the government, stating, “Through small acts of sharing, we can bring great hope to those facing difficult circumstances.” Government officials, including Minister of Social Services Cassandra Williams and Permanent Secretaries Kyra Paul (Health) and Ryan Anselm (Agriculture), lauded the church’s generosity and alignment with national efforts to enhance food security and social safety nets for vulnerable populations. Under the leadership of General Pastor Joo-cheol Kim, the Church is actively engaged in the Hold Hope Campaign, which seeks to “share hope with a Mother’s heart” and support communities affected by climate change, economic struggles, and health challenges. Building on its February initiative, which provided daily essentials to 6,400 households across 25 countries on World Day of Social Justice, this year’s campaign aims to assist over 7,400 households in approximately 80 nations, with aid packages valued at around USD 258,800. The initiative also focuses on supporting small-scale farmers, fishers, and livestock producers facing labor shortages, reinforcing its commitment to agricultural and rural communities.
